Osaka Castle - surrounded by the beauty of autumn leaves and the serenity that you will be least expected to find in the lively city.
After finishing my high school education and those taunting exams, my friends and I cheered ourselves up by travelling to Japan - a bustling and compacted city ,yet always filled with charms and amazement. It has been 8 years since my last visit to Japan! I still remembered my first trip to Japan was the 2005 Aichi World Expo and my family spent like 3 hours waiting in the queue to get into the Hitachi Exhibition. It was a pretty cool 3D stimulation where you can feed bananas to monkey!

Anyway, let's get back to Osaka. This was a 8 days trip from 24/11/2012 to 01/12/2012 - with 3 days in Osaka, 2 days Hakone (a nearby hot-spring famous town) and 3 days Tokyo. This post will detail on Osaka. Hopefully my personal experience will help or inspire you to travel. Let's begin :)
